Serious and well made, easy drinking despite the complexity, length and concentration. Ripe cherries and notes of coffee, cocoa and tobacco

Alion is pure seduction, talk about minerality. Another blockbuster from the Vega family. Distinct note of lapsong souchong and black perigord truffle!

Not in the best place right now, I have had quite a few 8-12 years of age and they start to get really into around that age. For a youngster this just seemed off its mark.

I really enjoyed this wine. I think Americans would have to love it. It's got all the boldness of a Corvette or Kate Upton. Only downside for me is that the tannins could be a little more polished, especially two years after its commercial release. WA gave the 2011 94 points.

Unlike many, many other RdD the precision and elegance, with power and structure on display here is impeccable. The house style from the grand daddy Unico is apparent. This is a wine to savor, linger on and appreciate over hours. The complexity complicates a bouquet and palate that are fresh and soulful. #spain #ribera #alion #vegasicilia
